Hello


I am seeking some advice for a kitchen and bathroom renovation. We live in a half house (double fronted Victorian) in ED. Our bathroom is currently on the ground floor, just off the kitchen. Last year we had the loft converted and first floor reconfigured with a view to moving the bathroom upstairs and creating a bigger kitchen downstairs. We are now looking in to doing this work but don't know where to start!


It is not a kitchen extension but rather a reconfiguration of our existing footprint. We would like help re designing the ground floor space (architects?) and then some one to do the building and instillation work (knocking down existing bathroom walls for example and installing new bathroom and kitchen etc).However we think we'd like to pick/source the kitchen etc ourselves so don't necessarily want to work with a company who will mood board everything and add 15% to something we could have found ourselves.


Does any one have any advice on where to start, what approach to take and any recommended companies to help with drawings and the build.


Thanks


Johanna

    • I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.    
    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
